Pledge of Resistance-Baltimore Meeting

Join the Pledge of Resistance-Baltimore as it meets on Monday nights at the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) building on York Road. The Pledge, formerly the Iraq Pledge of Resistance, regularly engages in civil disobedience on behalf of our collective civil liberties. Every action is non-violent and is conducted peacefully.

The Pledge has a series of actions planned in the upcoming months that are designed to visibly oppose the Bush administration's "preemptive" warmongering and attacks on the Bill of Rights. If you're concerned about the direction the US is heading to please consider coming out and joining us. (Note: it is always advisable to call in advance to confirm the meeting is being held as scheduled.)

WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception. Inside the media war on Iraq.

dates extended to Dec 9th

www.landmarktheatres.com/Market/MarketShowtimes.asp

This is an analysis of media coverage on Iraq by an insider. Did the US media wave the flag so the FCC would waive media ownership rules? How did and still does the Administration and Army shape the coverage? Did the Army deliberately open fire on the Palestine Hotel (full of independent journalists)? These and other issues are covered.

Please publicize. Would your organization like to adopt a showing & have a brief speaker afterwards?

Danny Schechter ("your news dissector") has won Emmys working for ABC & NBC & 60 minutes -- also directed "Counting on Democracy" about Florida.

The film is winning awards & getting rave reviews (Boston Phoenix: "More cohesive and devastating than Fahrenheit 911"; Vanity Fair: "Something of a comic masterpiece" (!), Le Monde gave it a 4-page spread; it was the featured film o the "Films to See Before You Vote" festival.

ADVENTURES IN ILLEGAL ART WITH MARK HOSLER OF NEGATIVLAND

ADVENTURES IN ILLEGAL ART

Mark Hosler of the legendary anti-corporate experimental group Negativland joins us in person for a film and storytelling presentation in which found sounds and the liberal re-use of images of mass culture combine with experimental movie making for an entertaining and informative evening exploring media hoaxes and pranks, anti-corporate art and activism, intellectual property issues, advertising, and the evolution of art in a media saturated world.

Location:
Coolidge Corner Theatre

Cost: $12/$10 members

Directions: The Coolidge Corner Theatre is located 1/2 block from the corner of Harvard and Beacon Streets in the Coolidge Corner shopping district of Brookline. We're just minutes from downtown Boston and Harvard Square.

By train: take the Green Line (C branch to Cleveland Circle) trolley from downtown to Coolidge Corner via Beacon Street. The Coolidge Corner stop is at Harvard Street, 5-10 minutes from Kenmore Square.

By bus: take bus #66, Dudley/Harvard Square.

All buses and trolleys stop at the Harvard Street/ Beacon Street intersection.
Both lines are also on the night owl route - operating until 2:00am on Friday and Saturday nights.

From Mass Pike, 90: Take exit 18 Allston/Brighton. As you exit tolls, stay to left for Allston exit and merge with Cambridge St. Follow until you reach Harvard Ave on your left, after the overpass at the intersection with the frightening "Captain Fishbones" sign. Take the left onto Harvard Ave and follow through Allston and across Commonwealth Ave, continuing for about 1.5 miles. Just before reaching the major intersection of Harvard and Beacon St, you will notice our giant theatre marquee on your right.

From Interstate 93: Take the Storrow Drive exit and follow to Storrow Drive (this navigation changes periodically because of Big Dig construction, so watch for the signs). Take Storrow Drive to the Kenmore Square exit. As the exit splits, stay in the right hand lane. Take the first right onto Beacon St. Follow Beacon St through Kenmore Square (past the legendary Citgo sign), staying in the center lane. After you cross the overpass, keep going straight ahead, following the trolley tracks along Beacon St until you reach the intersection of Beacon and Harvard St, landmarked by a large Tudor style building with a clocktower (and a Walgreens) on the corner. You'll see us one half block up Harvard, but continue on Beacon to Center St and turn right to access our parking lot behind the building.

From Route 9: Route 9 inbound to the Brookline Village/Harvard St intersection. The Brookline fire station is on your right. Go through the intersection and take a right immediately after the fire station, and loop around the back. You can now turn right and cross back over Route 9 onto Harvard St. Follow Harvard St through Brookline Village, about one mile to Beacon St. Cross Beacon St and you will immediately see our marquee on your left. Parking is along Beacon, or go around the block and enter the lot behind our building on Center St.

have the skills this series has been teaching.
